These books are perfect for burgeoning sleuths. A trio of cousins staying with their granny get up to all sorts of trouble.
First it was over granny’s chocolate cake recipe and now they suspect granny of being a bank robber.
Always getting the wrong end of the stick, the trio are determined to protect granny at all costs.
Funny, endearing and excellent for reading aloud, I can picture a class,of children working this one out along with the sleuthing characters.

What a fantastic adventure story for kids! It is full of fun exploits, adventures and characters that are relatable and just great! Thoroughly enjoyed revisiting the nostalgic feel of an old fashioned adventure story. Highly recommend.

This is a great old fashioned kids adventure story full of great characters and fun exploits. Perhaps the children who read this with me did not get all of the vintage references but I certainly loved them. It was a lovely nostalgic read for me and an exciting mystery for them.

It’s the Easter holidays and 9 year-old Joe is thrilled to be back at his Granny’s house with his cousins, Tom and Pip. They love spending time together, especially when their parents aren’t around (and there are biscuits on offer). One of their favourite things to do together, besides going to the shop for sweets, is solve mysteries. According to this crime-fighting trio, Muddlemoor is REALLY DANGEROUS and bad things are ALWAYS happening.
When they hear news of masked robbers targeting shops in the nearby town of Stonely, things start to get exciting. They decide to be proactive and look for clues so they can protect their Granny and get to the bottom of this case! Events take a shocking turn when her book club starts act suspiciously. Maybe the criminal isn’t who they originally suspected after all!
Joe’s voice is absolutely charming. He adores his cousins and is so enthusiastic about everything they get wrapped up in. Their over-exuberance is sure to land them in trouble but they’re certainly going to have fun along the way.
This is the second mystery for these chaotic, clever kids. Their first book, Peril at the Bake Off, is another hilarious who-dunnit, bursting with the same innocent determination and childhood joy.
Thank you to Andersen Press for this fantastic book!

This was the second instalment in the Muddlemoor Mysteries Series that I really enjoyed! Joe, Tom and Pip were very quirky and fun characters who made really good sleuths! The mystery itself was quite short and simple. It was a fun and relaxed read that I loved!

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the free e-arc!
